In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2014.

ORGANIZATION Exemplar Capital, LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Exemplar Companies, LLC (the "Parent"). The Company was formed in 2011 as a limited liability company in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. # 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ## Basis of Presentation The accounting policies and reporting practices of the Company conform to the practices in the broker-dealer industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### Government and Other Regulation The Company's business is subject to significant regulation by various governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations, including the SEC and FINRA. Such regulation includes, among other things, periodic examinations by these regulatory bodies to determine whether the Company is conducting and reporting on its operations in accordance with the applicable requirements of these organizations. As a registered broker dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's net capital rules (Rule 15c3-1) which require that the Company maintain a minimum net capital, as defined. The Company relies on Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release to the Securities and Exchange Act to be compliant with the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3. ## Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments having original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may, during the ordinary course of business, maintain account balances with banks in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. #### Revenue Recognition In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 606, the Company recognizes investment banking fees and commissions as earned upon successful fulfillment of contractual obligations. Management regularly assesses the need for an allowance against receivables and establishes an allowance when collection probability becomes remote. Deferred revenues are recorded in the event services have been contracted for but not yet earned. #### Use of Estimates The preparation of the Statement of Financial Condition in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results can differ from those estimates. {7}------------------------------------------------ #### Exemplar Capital, LLC Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition (continued) December 31, 2025 # 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) #### Income Taxes No provisions have been made for income taxes since the Company is a single-member limited liability company and is considered a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. The sole member is liable for income taxes based on the Company's taxable income. The Company recognizes and measures tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return based on their technical merit and assesses the likelihood that the positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are the major tax jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal or Commonwealth examinations by tax authorities for all periods since 2022. ## Segment Reporting The Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced enhancements to segment reporting requirements for public entities, including brokerdealers. The update aimed to improve the transparency and usefulness of financial disclosures for investors and other stakeholders. ASU 2023-07 disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2023. The Company has identified its President as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as specified in ASU 2023-07. Company management reviewed the ASU 2023-07 disclosure requirements and determined that no additional disclosures are required as the Company has only one reportable segment. ## 3. RELATED PARTIES The Company and its Parent have entered into an agreement whereby they share certain common expenses allocated by usage by personnel. In addition, the Company and its Parent have entered into an agreement whereby the Parent allocates certain compensation costs. As of December 31, 2025, no amount was due under this contract. ## 4. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company, as a registered broker-dealer, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires that the Company maintain Net Capital (as defined in the Rule) equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of Aggregate Indebtedness (also as defined) and requires that the ratio of Aggregate Indebtedness to net capital shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the Company's Net Capital was \$1,966,745 which was above the required Net Capital by \$1,859,451. At December 31, 2025, the Company's ratio of Aggregate Indebtedness to Net Capital was 0.82 to 1. {8}------------------------------------------------ #### Exemplar Capital, LLC Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition (continued) December 31, 2025 # 5.
